According to police, the Cudahy Police Department received a call from a citizen around 9:50 a.m. Saturday, June 22nd for a report of a bloody pit bull sitting near a cement jetty by the water.

Cudahy police along with a MADACC representative responded to the scene. The dog was taken to the emergency room clinic, where an examination revealed that the dog had been shot two or three times. Officials say due to severe internal injuries the dog had to be euthanized.
